A story with a Moral.

Near n railroad crossing where trains
frequently waited for connection berries
were very plentiful. Two women con
Ceived the idea of making a little money
by selling fresh berries TO the hot and
dusty travellers. They forthwith put
their idea into execution, and were soor
passing through the waiting trains offer
ing the fruit for sale. One invariably
made ready sales, selling out before she
had gone through n train: the other al
ways had berries left unsold. and some
times she failed 10 sell any. One made a
handsome little pile" by the end of the
season; the other questioned whether she
had been paid for her time.
The reason for the success of the one
and the failure of the other was not hard
TO find II all lay in the manner Of ser
vice. One Of these women was careless
and untidy in her appearance; the other
was scrupulously clean and neat: one
measured her berries from her basket in n
cup. filling it with her hands Us she
passed through the train: the other made
up little paper holders lined with fresh
green leaves, and these she filed with
berries before the train arrived No one
wonders which would sell the best.
Probably some baker or confectoner
may suspect small sized moral lying
around loose hcrcabouts. s.-American Gro

Let Us place one act Ia the credit of Mrs.
Cleveland. II is described in this para
graph from the Philadelphia Press:
An incident observed by only few took
place in the green room of the Academy of
Music last Friday evening. upon the occa-
sion of the presidents reception, which
went far toward demonstrating the
womanly tact possessed by the wife of the
nations head. Among the many prominent
people present was ex-President Hayes.
Naturally of a retiring disposition. he did
no, mingle. 10 any great extent. with the
celebrities. When the time arrived for the
presidential party 10 take their places on the
stage they formed in couples. and the
eN-presidaut was left without a partner.
At this moment the president and Mrs.
Cleveland entered the green room and the
proscenium box. Mrs Cleveland, with
womanly instinct. took in the situation at
glance. and in an instant glided across the
floor past the rest of the company. laid her
hand upon the eN-presiden''S arm and took
up her position at the head of the line
President Cleveland took Chairman KaS-
sons arm. and in this order the party filed
on the stage. The whole thing was the
work Of a second. but in that time Mr..
Hayes was relieved from an embarrassing
position. and Mrs.. Cleveland had scored
another of those inimitable strokes of
ineSse for which she is noted
Her tact seems 10 have taken a walk"
when Governor and Mrs. Foraker reached
her. hut even Homer nodded, occasionally.
and il seems 10 be a fact that the country still
lives
